The blue actually didn't look as bad as I expected - though the purple available on the M240i is lovely so that's what I'd have in preference [ETA: but not available on the M2 unless you can spec a bespote Individual one, possibly]. The Milltek stickers on the sills highlight the almost running-boards between the arches and that doesn't look so clever. In fact it looks like a plastic moulded shell like you'd get from Tamiya before you've trimmed it properly. Overall the impression was of a Nascar silhouette body rather than a solid car - possibly a fun interpretation but it didn't do it for me.

All this talk of exhausts has reminded me of the hemorrhoidal M Performance option.

Somehow manages to look even worse than it does on the M3.

This makes that Honda Civic Type R from a few years ago look tame.
How about not having a sig at all?

Is that because black with black basically hides all of the styling (whether you like it or not)?

Pretty much, it was going by me by the time I figured out what it was. Just looked like about 15ft of car.

I thought Chrysler 300 but they look a bit different unless it's a specific model year thing.

Studebaker Powerhawk is Google's suggestion.

Haven’t seen that one.

You were about 60 seconds from my house when I saw you the other weekend.
